What does "Include extra details" add?

Turn it on to load each trail's own page and add these fields. It is one switch and it adds all of them:

Extra field	What you get
description	The full trail description. Without extra details it is the standard listing text, which is cut at 500 characters.
reviews	The 5 most recent reviews: author, date, star rating, activity, review text, tags, and conditions / parking / difficulty notes.
reviewSummary	The AI-written summary of what trailgoers say (highlights, challenges, tips).
surfaceTypes	The surface breakdown, for example 53% natural, 42% unknown, 5% gravel, with miles.
topSights	The top sights and points of interest on the trail, with type and link.

Extra details are slower (several seconds per trail) and add a per-trail charge, so they are off by default. If extra details are temporarily unavailable, the run still returns the standard trail data and logs a warning.

📦 AllTrails scraper output data

The output is a dataset with one record per trail. Standard fields: trailId, name, url, slug, description, difficulty, difficultyScore, routeType, lengthKm, lengthMiles, elevationGainM, elevationGainFt, highestPointM, estimatedTime, durationMinutes, avgRating, reviewCount, textReviewCount, photoCount, completedCount, popularity, visitorUsage, activities, features, collections, latitude, longitude, areaName, areaUrl, city, state, country, isClosed, isPrivateProperty and coverPhotoUrl. With extra details on, reviewSummary, reviews, surfaceTypes and topSights are added and description becomes the full text. The dataset has 1 view, Overview, a compact table of trail, difficulty, length, elevation gain, rating, reviews, city, state and URL.

🐍 How to scrape AllTrails with Python, JavaScript or the API

Run the actor programmatically with the official Apify clients. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> with the token from your Apify Console.

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run = client.actor("<username>/alltrails-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.alltrails.com/parks/us/california/yosemite-national-park"}],
    "difficulty": ["hard"],
    "minRating": 4.5,
    "maxItems": 20,
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["name"], item["lengthKm"], item["avgRating"])

JavaScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

const run = await client.actor('<username>/alltrails-scraper').call({
    startUrls: [{ url: 'https://www.alltrails.com/parks/us/california/yosemite-national-park' }],
    difficulty: ['hard'],
    minRating: 4.5,
    maxItems: 20,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

cURL — start a run and wait for the dataset:

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.alltrails.com/parks/us/california/yosemite-national-park"}], "maxItems": 20}'
